7. Blessed – Shenseea (ft. Tyga)cg3myULHqiE
Blessed is Shenseea’s second entry to our ReggaeMania.com ‘2019 Top 10’ chart, and it’s her biggest song to date. This pop-dancehall track, also featuring American rap star Tyga, is a popular ‘must-play’ favourite by today’s leading club dee-jays and dancehall selectors. Blessed comes with a repetitive hook that is extremely addictive. The simplistic hip-pop production is creatively constructed and masterfully composed.
Lyrically, Shenseea’s ‘Bless‘ is similar to Koffee’s ‘Toast‘. Both songs are about being blessed, thanking God for life, feeling good about yourself when you get up in the morning, being grateful for what you have, for what you have achieved, for surviving the hard times, an overall positive outlook on life. Blessed would peak at Number 2 on Billboard’s reggae digital sales chart, and the music video has surpassed an amazing 35 million views on YouTube. Shenseea’s Instagram, featuring the many sides of Shenseea, feature posts with over 900,000 views, and over 10,000 comments…per post!
First thing in the mornin’ when I wake up
Thank God for life
Look in the mirror
Say, “Bitch I’m the best, best, best, best, best, best, best
Way too blessed, blessed, blessed
Bitch, I’m the best, best, best, best, best, best, best
Blessed, throughout 2019, rose to become a huge motivational song in a relatively short period of time, so much so that it has now been crowned a ‘champion‘ ladies anthem in our dancehalls, but not without some help from featured artist Tyga, balancing up the sexes with his own incredible cameo appearance so that male listeners and fans can come to the table and join the ladies in their frenzy, a beautiful thing to see.
Says Tasha Rozez (Gunz N’ Rozez): ‘Shenseea…she’s hot, Blessed, it works, it’s a great transition song, a prime time-anytime tune. The beat mixes with almost anything, any genre, you can drop it in anywhere. It’s a club banger, great for audience response. I’m so bless, bless, bless, bless…’
Blessed has so much power, when Shenseea and Tyga perform it live, or when a selector plays it, the ladies (and some of the men), with lit cell phones raised high, take over the dancehall by literally taking over the song, vocally. Unified, they temporarily leave their men behind as it’s ‘ladies only’ who congregate to recite out loud, all of the song’s lyrics from start to finish. Shenseea has become used to this, the ladies know and recite out loud, lyrics for the majority of her songs, including the popular ShenYeng Anthem. Says Shenseea on her IG: ‘I like how powerful my music makes women feel. I like watching my Shengyengs enjoy themselves’.
Shenseea, only 23-years young and signed to Interscope Records, is not to be underestimated. She’s the real deal, and will remain prominent in the scene; time has proven that it’s the dancehall where she truly belongs. Perfect for Shenseea, because aside from a being a great artist, she’s a diva, a model, an actress, a brand.
Shenseea is also a social media guru, very comfortable with exhibiting her extraordinarily sexy body for marketing purposes, as the pictures on her Instagram and Facebook Pages prove. Says Tasha Rozes (Gunz N Rozez): ‘She’s at the age where that’s expected. When you’re young and you look good, you have to flaunt it, and keep it up for as long as it lasts. If you’re gonna talk about how you look good, you have to have the body to back it up.’
Big up Shenseea, truly representing with two songs on our ‘Top 10 Songs of 2019′ chart, 3rd place for ‘Top 2019 Upcoming Female’, and 3rd Place for ‘Top 2019 International Female’. Not bad for a ‘newcomer’ eh!
The #7 song on our ‘ReggaeMania.com ‘2019 Tops’ Top 10 chart, goes to ‘Bless’. Congrats Shenseea and Tyga!
Next up is Song #6…stay tuned…
